Watch to see how 3am was for me!
This week on Story Hour, Charlotte Tierney and Jeffrey Ford read weird horror tales! These stories address relationships, self-respect, and flying heads. Heavy subjects brightened with flecks of the comic. You can still watch! @charlieratpig.bsky.social @jeffreyford8.bsky.social youtu.be/Ru2fJAI88fI

So happy to have these two in my house. Both out on 4th June New stories - Sail Away Land new paperback - The Expansion Project. Thank you @grantabooks.bsky.social @jasonarthur.bsky.social
I am still thinking about this novel - here's @jonathangibbs.bsky.social saying interesting things about it
2026 Reading 31: The Palm House by Gwendoline Riley. Splendid, tremendous book. My favourite of those of hers that I’ve read. Certainly, it seems more generous to its characters than previous outings, though there are some monsters, too. But there is space for humanity, for them to breathe.
Help ARB become a paying venue for ruthless criticism of all that doesn’t exist
Big news! ARB's first fundraiser is officially live! We're shooting for the very modest goal of $1k, with lots of stretch goals in mind. Your support is of course appreciated, and any help in spreading the word would be wonderful!
Happy almost-birthday to The Cat Bride! To celebrate, would anyone like a copy of this weird nineties feline gothic fairytale, reviewed by The Guardian as “A STUNNINGLY EVOCATIVE, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN GOTHIC NOVEL”? DM if so! First come, first served. Please share!

Delighted to have a new story, "Rope," published in one of my favourite magazines alongside this powerhouse ToC. It's short and strange, and I hope you'll give it a read. www.bourbonpenn.com @bourbonpenn.bsky.social
Cannot disagree.
Since it's Mothering Sunday: There's a delightfully absurd story by Charlotte Tierney about a new mother haunted by ghost babies in The Best Weird Fiction of The Year, Volume 1, from @undertow.bsky.social. It's called A Woman's Place Is In The Haunted Home.

I finally put some films from 2014 and thereabouts in for developing last week. What I love about analogue is the feeling of digging up buried treasure.

Congratulations to all nominees on the ballot for the Bram Stoker Awards®, especially to @thomasha.bsky.social for his novelette "Uncertain Sons" in the Long Fiction category, and to Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece for her "St. Dymphna's School for Borderland Girls" in Short Fiction. Well done!
Made up with a lovely review of The Cat Bride in Fortean Times!!
New review of The Cat Bride in the Fortean Times! “The novel is often claustrophobic, but it keeps you turning the pages.” In Charlotte Tierney’s The Cat Bride, a “tynx” roams the moors—or is it all “folklore-fuelled delusions”? A haunting tale of unreliable memories. #BookSky
